With its title shortened to Manhunter, DC Comics' secondary feature will debut in Justice League of America #2.

"To me, Martian Manhunter, you can almost do anything with him because there hasn't been a definitive take on him yet," Kindt told MTV Geek.

"We'll see what ultimately happens, but to me, he's always been like Superman, except he wasn't raised by human parents, so he doesn't have the human element to him. He has all the crazy strength and powers, but he also has a disconnect from humanity.

"There's that element, which I think is going to be interesting to play with, his true alien-ness. You forget Superman is an alien sometimes, but with Martian Manhunter you don't because of the way he looks. He's like a man out of place in a way."

He added that they would be looking into doing something "a little different" with J'onn J'onzz's powers.
